Maren’s Bio

Hello! I am a married mother of two sweet but sassy daughters ( one is almost four years-old and the younger one is 15 months). Because I have two little ones I am available for babysitting at my home or evening/weekend babysitting when I can leave the girls with their daddy. We love getting outside (no TV at home!) and being active and engaging in activities that build up those senses and fine motor skills. I am a knowledgeable, self-taught holistic health nut so I spend a lot of time researching, discovering, and creating recipes and ways to help my children eat and live more healthy. I currently work with two special needs boys in their twenties and before I had my second baby I nannied a sweet little boy and would bring my two year-old with me. I graduated from BYU in 2011 with a B.S. degree in Sociology and a minor in Spanish and while going to school I worked at an agency in Washington off and on providing care to children of all ages with disabilities. I have also worked at two different elementary schools as an after school program teacher helping kids with homework and teaching math. I have 11 nieces and nephews and for the past 10 years have cared for them as well as children of friends and neighbors. I have also worked at a treatment center for troubled boys (Telos in Orem, UT) so I have dealt with behavioral issues and have dealt with anything from minor cuts to kids eating wild mushrooms at the park! For hourly rate I can do as low as $8 per hour if the child is just at my home (less travel for me) and the higher rate for if I'm at your home.
